Since you also posted this to the "Git for Windows" mailinglist I assume
that you are using Windows. Reduce the number of files. For example
split the repository into two one for documentation and one for source.
Thats what I did with a converted repository that had to many files.

Windows is unfortunately very slow when it comes to handling many files
and if I recall correctly ~30000 files was in a nicely handleable range
for a Git repository on Windows, but that might have changed...
